The mentawai longboards are perfect for cruising along town, weaving through traffic, shredding the park, mild downhill and slalom, as well as ramps and ditches. The mentawai also has a pretty long wheelbase for its size which makes for smooth, buttery turns and also gives more control at higher speeds but doesn’t give high maneuverability in the streets. I personally recommend the mentawai to anyone who is beginning because of the longerwheel base but I feel the other laybacks are better for busier streets, cities, etc.
The Mentawai comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I highly recommend buying some of our premium trucks and wheels. for trucks I recommend getting some independents or chargers. For wheels I recommend sector 9′s, abec 11′s or orangatangs or any wheel in a 60mm or higher for that matter. The mentawai also comes with abec 5 bearings but I highly recommend getting some reds, they’re only $10 more and they’re the best you can get for the price unless of course you really want to rip through the streets then i suggest getting some ceramics of any kind however I personally recommend the sector 9 ceramics.
